Blinded Me With Science by Thomas Dolby, or Weird Science by Oingo Boingo?

Boingo ALL THE WAY!! You can't beat their weirdness!

Danny Elfman has cranked out quite a few soundtrack hits in my book!

I like Boingo better as far as their albums/songs/career. IMO they had better songs than Weird Science that weren't singles. Dolby's Blinded with me with Science is good, but my favorite song by him is One of our submarines.

Devolution here,

Oingo Boingo... it's not even close, even though it's not even close to one of their best songs.

We are DEVO

thomas dolby is masterful. what a great artist he is. weird science is a good song, but i like oingo boingo's other songs way better than this one.
i am a bigger fan of oingo boingo's music, but i respect thomas dolby a lot.

i choose she blinded me with science. it's an awesome song.. better than weird science, IMO.

This is a tough one for me. I like both these songs...I think Weird Science wins, barely.

Speaking of fixes, just been playing Whodini's magic Wand, with session man Dolby playing the catchy keyboard riff.

Gotta go with Dolby. I remember seeing this video as a kid and never really liking the song at a young age, butit grew on me in later years and I love it today.

I love Weird Science the movie but never did, never will like the song....

I'm going with "Weird Science" by Oingo Boingo, but only because Thomas Dolby has been so overplayed throughout the years.
